I don't know if its just me. But I find the stock camera app on X10 very hard to use...
It is only nice on a bright sunny day. The shutter lag makes the camera almost unusable under low-light condition or while you're at an indoor space.
Its slow to focus on subject, and even slower for the camera to take a pictureou, leaving you a blurry image because the person has moved...etc.
The camera app that comes with CM roms in my opinion is the best.. photo is instantly taken once you press on shutter. wonder if any devs would be able to port it on to roms based on stock GB?
that is about right for X10....
otherwise, go for DSLR camera.

X10 camera is good enough with the right app.. but definitely not the stock SE one. It has potential to be there.
asking if any devs are able to port cm6 camera on to SE GB rom
In my opinion The GB stock camera it's better than previous CM roms

Sorry to tell you but the stock app is superior than any app on the market. Show me what app from the market allows you to control EV+/-
Dont think thats a useless feature.....its what seperates stock cam from any other app.
Ive given lots of pointers as a photgrapher within these forums how to properly get a great image regardless if your lighting is poor.

-Use touch capture
-Use the modes! If you want to take a quick picture, go to sports mode, so on and so forth
-Use the EV! It makes the pictures come to life
I have not noticed any camera lag between pressing the shutter and getting the shot...are you on Gingebread? The GB update seems to have sped things up a lot.

If you use normal mode for interior without decent lighting, you will see the screen does not respond promptly as you move the camera around different subjects, that's the lag I'm talking about.
Thanks for suggesting sport mode tho..its a lot more responsive. Didn't bothered to try it before.
But what it does really is compensating exposure for the less lag as I've figured...sport mode is unusable without daylight, the image is way too dark.
Yes I'm on GB at the moment, not saying X10 camera is that bad, but it wouldve been so much better if its as fast as the camera included in CM roms

Guys who dont know EV
its that setting by which you can + or - the lighting in the cam. its on the right hand side in a box with +/- sign.
If you learn the camera correctly, you can take some awesome shots. I still have pictures till this day that people are amazed by the quality and clarity of the photos. The X10 can take the shots you want with patience and practice.
It takes better pics than my ATRIX.

Hey guys ,
would like to know if there is anyway to get flash capability in x10 ? any apps or anything? since photo light is available in the phone shouldn't be hard to get a application to use it as a flash light..

If you want to use that pitiful photolight as a flash, you can use Vignette from the market.
I tried vignette, but to be honest the photos in the dark are still crap.
I settled into just using my phone for spontaneous snaps and a dedicated camera for when I know I need it.

It's because the photo light on the X10 isn't a flash and probably isn't designed to be such.

But really, who wants ****ty digital zoom anyway. If you wanted a nice camera on your phone, you should have bought a Nokia NSeries or something man. TO OP: Don't let that be a deal-breaker for you... I'm sure there will be custom ROMs around in given time that supports zoom and 720p video recording. Hope this helps.
Digital zoom on a fixed lens = crappy pixelated pics
I know the gingerbread roms for evo have zoom. But theyre custom. Thought it was in gingerbread though

I have the Galaxy S and just upgraded to CM7 nightly's which gives me a similar cam to the Nexus S. I've confirmed with a friend, and there's no zoom on his Nexus S.
I was surprised to find out, that there is no Zoom on the camera any more, as the Galaxy S (stock samsung) camera application supported zoom via the Volume Buttons.
For those saying "oh it's just digital and not optical zoom" is irrelevant. It allows me to take my crappy pixelated photo with out having to crop later before sending. The quality on the camera is sh!t anyways.
I'd personally like optical zoom and it seems like a standard reasonable feature these days.

You have to understand that the Nexus S is meant to be a developer phone so it lacks certain features that can be later added by the developers in the XDA forums.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Developer phone or not it still cost the same as the galaxy s yet they didn't add alot of stuff shouldn't the phone be cheaper guess not more I think about this its just dumb Google is really droppin the ball. No tv-out no 720p recording no sdcard no zoom no codecs only thing that's better is the form factor and updates from Google I guess but that's the price I pay for lord Google to give updates rant off I guess

Hey,
I yesterday installed the newest version of WolfBreak his CM.
Many things are fixed and the ROM is now incredible smooth!
I also tried some new Camera apps.
Stock Camera App is as always better the the Stock App WolfBreak gives.
Only one app kills them both. It's called Camera 360 Ultimate.
You should really but the app, it's really worth it. You will be amazed by how great the pictures are! Maybe even better then the Stock S.E. 2.1 Camera App!
If this helped you in a search to a GREAT camera app, please press the ''Thanks'' Button!
Any questions about this WolfBreak his ROM? Just send me a PM!

The only advantage of Vignette is the possibility tu use auto flash imo. Camera 360's photos are clear and stable..instead of Vignette's that are out of focus!!

Vignette out of focus? Not for me.
Anyway I've just done a comparison and I found that quality of vignette is better...
I had both settings on highest quality and turned off flash for vignette.
I think vignetteis better in quality but it is still slow :-(
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
camera 360 Ultimate is not worth, if it cannot handle exposure as no of the cameras for 2.2+ (android, vignette,...) for our beloved X10 write me if Im wrong cheers
Vignette pictures are better. I don't know who said they are out of focus but thats crazy talk! Do you have the newest release? Camera 360 doesn't stand a chance against vignette.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
what are you talking about, make photo comparison in full resolution then we can choose the winner
I think that Camera 360 ultimate is superior I used the two but I found the 360 have a better img processing, they have the same specs like 8.1mp 96dpi but 360 seems to be better to me, and the stable shot function helps a lot!

its like this, if you shake your hand it dont take the pic, soo YOU should get steady, when you are steady it takes the picture automaticly

Vignette also has a stable mode called "steady shot" but i haven't used camera360 enough to compare, only the free version and it caps the resolution to low.

Hello, i am going to buy Atrix. But camera takes pictrures ugly quality. Is there any way to improve quality? Compression? What´s about Droid 3 camera app?
I don't know about Droid 3 camera but, I'm using the camera app from MIUI as main one and for even better shots I use HDR Camera+ from the market. Try HDR Camera (not +) first to see if you like it, the + version has a lot more settings and uses flash as well.
Camera Zoom FX works a lot better, you can find it on the market.

Ya there are software options but the camera just isn't that great to start with. But the rest of the phone is amazing thanks to the development community.
using neutrino's rom atm and you can deff. notice the difference with this one or stock camera, I think it's the MIUI one
so the different cameras apps actually affect the quality of the pictures themselves huh? i thought they were there for effects, stabilization, etc.
i use miui camera aswell..just perfect !

Yeah its the same camera no matter what app/apk you use.
Only thing you can do to improve the camera quality is up the Mega pixels to 5 if you only had it on 3 for some reason. Other than that, totally placebo effect.

Not really I took two identical pictures one with MIUI Camera and one with Default CM7 camera, you can definitely tell a difference. While the sensor remains the same different apps will process pictures differently.
The camera in neutrino rom is good, but you loose the front one. Still Atrix just doesn't have the megapixels.
Anyone know of anyway to make the camera on the Nexus 4 better? I think the only thing I don't particularly like about this phone is the camera. Shots are too dark, too much flash, the HDR are always fuzzy. Do any 3rd party apps improve the camera, or are there any mods I'm missing?
Thanks in advance!
AW: Camera or camera app
Hdr is fuzzy because you dont hold ur n4 still. You can improve it a bit but you cant really See a difference. just the size of the photo is much bigger of the photo. There is no thirdparty app that takes better photos as the stock app
